    Gary and Ben are a Dream Team!

    All I wanted for my wedding was to spend the night on the dance floor, and wow did Ben Carlin of 74 Events deliver. One guest called it a "Millennial Dream". Once the dancing started it didn't stop. Combined with Gary's attention to detail in the booking and planning process = dream team. Book them!

    Best wedding DJ of all time!

    Ben and Gary exceeded our expectations in every way! Ben is an incredibly talented DJ and his set list had everyone at our wedding dancing the entire night. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a blast on the dance floor and nailed it with his final song choices. On top of the Gary is the most professional, caring, and responsive person I have ever worked with. Can not recommend 74 Events and Ben enough!

    Amazing DJ!

    Hiring 74 Events and our DJ James was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Many of our guests told us that our music was the best wedding music they’ve ever heard. The dance floor was packed the entire night. And James listened to all of our requests and added music that we absolutely loved. In addition, Gary was extremely responsive and professional in all communications leading up to our wedding. We’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

    James and 74 Events killed it!

    From start to finish, working with Gary and James was such a seamless experience. Gary is incredibly professional and with his expertise, we knew we were in good hands. And James was amazing at picking up on our musical taste and turning out the party! Our dance floor was packed all night and guests couldn’t stop raving. They made our wedding an absolute jam.

    Dance floor of my dreams!

    The number one thing that my friends & family texted me about the morning after our wedding was how incredible our DJ was, and how spot-on and amazing the music was the whole night—from the cocktail hour to the after party. Even notoriously dancing-shy friends were on the dance floor until the last minute of our after party. That takes real intuition & skill in a DJ—and Daniel has it! We so enjoyed every aspect of working with 74 Events and Daniel as our DJ partner—they’re organized, clear communicators, and most importantly, have incredible taste in music, and a great intuition of precisely what song a dance floor and specific crowd needs at any given moment. If you want your wedding to be fun & memorable—your search stops here!

    Professional and Fun

    74 Events made our wedding day perfect and stress free. From start to finish they were extremely organized, professional, and attentive. The communication was a 10/10. Gary and James could not have been easier to work with. They were both very polite and knowledgeable and made this a seamless experience. James was a fantastic DJ and presence at the wedding. He was masterful at reading the room and choosing what music to play at what time. We had an absolutely awesome experience with this company and these gentlemen specifically. We would highly recommend giving them a call. Thanks guys!!

    Gary and DJ Rob helped make our wedding truly enjoyable and stress free. DJ Rob was awesome and really kept the energy high throughout the night! He did a fantastic job transitioning from dinner to dance music, and seamlessly incorporating several people’s playlists. Gary is the consummate professional. From the first email to the last, he has got you covered. There’s good reason why 74 Events has over 1000 5-star reviews. They are the real deal! Can’t recommend more highly!

    Disco on a Farm!

    We had the absolute best wedding and a huge part of this was because of the music!!! Joel was the perfect match for our wedding and curated an incredible playlist, that ensured every guest didn’t leave the dance floor. Both my wife (wow) and I are musicians and we are snobs when it comes to music. Trust me, the music at our wedding was absolute perfection!

    Additionally, leading up to the event, Gary was extremely responsive and professional. Our calls were very informative and prepared us well for the day of. I could not recommend 74events more!!!

    Thank you sooo much Gary and Joel!!!

    Look no further!

    Booking with 74Events was a no brainer! We found Gary through a coworker who went to a wedding with a 74Events DJ and all guests were on the dance floor. That coworker, then booked 74E for his wedding and we quickly booked an intro call with Gary.

    Gary's organizational skills, professionalism, and constant communication gives the bride and groom one less thing to worry about during wedding planning - and let us tell you, his DJs DELIVER! Our main concern was that we had people of all ages (94-15) attend our wedding and we wanted everyone to have a ball. DJ James Arnold could not have been more on top of his game, he was so good at reading the room and so many of our guests came up to us throughout the night to sing his praise.

    We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and wish we could do it all again!

    absolutely incredible!!

    We are so grateful to have worked with 74events for our wedding day! They were everything we hoped for! My husband and I did not want a cheesy wedding DJ+ MC disrupting the music or acting silly during our wedding, we wanted to maintain a classy vibe while being very selective of the music we wanted to play at our wedding. Based on our music preferences and taste, we were matched with DJ Rob who was absolutely perfect for us! He listened to all of our of song requests, he was highly professional and only acted as MC when he needed to be/was requested to make certain announcements. Our guests were on the dance floor having a blast and were so happy to have the different range of music play that we requested to be played, especially our Spanish and Portuguese side of the family! They are simply the best and truly know how to keep the party alive. Don’t look any further if you’re like me who is very picky about music and the vibe you want for your wedding. You simply can’t go wrong with 74 events! Thank you a million DJ Rob & Gary!

    Best of the best

    We absolutely loved working with 74 Events for our wedding - Gary is the best, totally on top of everything, and so great to communicate with. Our DJ Joel is an absolutely legend - the most incredible musical journey throughout the night, and I am super picky about tunes. Would choose to work with these guys again and again.

    Phenomenal from start to finish

    Our experience working with 74 Events was fun, easy, and professional from the first hello to the last song. Gary oversaw all of the logistics, and kept us informed about the process every step of the way. He was one of the most detail-oriented people we worked with on our wedding. Justin, our DJ, was an all-around great guy who kept our dance floor packed the entire night. We had great flexibility in choosing what songs we wanted to hear, and Justin played so many of those songs, which we loved. When we wanted something that he or Gary didn't think would work, he was honest and told us, all leading to a better result. We had the absolute best time at our wedding and Justin was a huge reason why. He's also great at reading the room and adjusting the music when needed. We did not want our DJ to be overly involved, just making announcements when needed. And that's exactly what he did.

    Great Wedding DJ

    We had a great experience working with 74 Events for our wedding in Brooklyn last month. Gary and Daniel were extremely professional and organized throughout the entire process, making the process a breeze. Daniel covered all of our audio needs throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and everything went off without a hitch. He also did a great job having the music fit the vibe we wanted at every point in the night. Would strongly recommend 74 Events for your wedding or any other event!

    74 Events kept the party going!

    James, Gary, and 74 Events were timely, professional, and fun to work with. James was so lovely and personable and really kept our ceremony flowing from start to finish. His kindness exuded when checking in with us throughout the evening. Our speech givers and officiant felt so comfortable with him and he prepped everyone on timing and how to work the mic. Our sound was incredible and once the songs started playing, the party kept going all night long! We got many compliments on the music and transitions and what a fun time we all had. James is guaranteed to make your day so special, smooth, and fun!

    Gary and DJ Justin Raymund dream team

    From the first interaction, working with Gary and 74 events was everything we could ask for. Gary was extremely organized and professional throughout the entire process. Then, we met our DJ, Justin Raymund. He has such an easy-going and warm personality and we couldn’t be more excited to work with him to set the vibe for the night. On the day of the wedding, Justin nailed every part of the wedding flawlessly including the procession and even taking part in a funny bit for the best man’s speech! He blended our eclectic music taste so well and added more songs that we didn’t even know we wanted. People were coming up to us all night asking how we found Justin. We all danced and there was music for everyone! Best of all, seeing Justin’s smiles and warm energy put us at ease and we were able to truly enjoy ourselves. We highly recommend 74 events and DJ Justin Raymund!

    Amazing!!!

    Gary and Daniel, our wedding DJ, were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. From our very first meeting Gary was both communicative and organized, making the process entirely stress free. Daniel was also absolutely amazing- we provided him with some suggested songs and he built the perfect wedding playlist from there on out. I don't think anyone stopped dancing all night and we've had so many compliments on how amazing the music was.

    Incredible DJ!

    74 Events was a great vendor for our wedding, May 5th, 2024. They were recommended by Brooklyn Winery and they were wonderful! Gary does a great job at staying organized and prepped for the day of the event. And then we had DJ Alias (Aaron) as our day of DJ. They gave us a questionnaire to get an idea of what music we liked and didn't like. We gave DJ Alias free range to just play a range of a genre or time frame of music. He played the best of everything for everyone. We would highly recommend hiring 74 Events for your next event!

    A Smashing Success

    We loved working with 74Events!

    Gary was incredibly organized and thorough. We appreciated how he would always check in before calls and was meticulous with the process of working with clients. Gary took the time to listen to what kind of music we were into and recommended James, who perfectly aligned with our vision for our wedding.

    James knocked it out of the park with the music and set the tone for the dance portion of our wedding, keeping up the energy up the entire time. The dance floor was never empty, and we had people come up to us asking for tracks/a playlist, claiming that they never do that at weddings. We also appreciated James’ attentiveness to the event as he briefly checked in with us before key moments (entrance, cake cutting, first dance) to ensure we were all on the same page about cues and announcements.

    Music was incredibly important to us for our wedding and 74 Events did a phenomenal job!

    Best dj ever-seriously

    Gary at 74 Events is fantastic. Super professional, attentive, and he paired me with the PERFECT dj for my wedding- Preston! Preston was unreal, played hit after hit, and read the vibe of the crowd flawlessly. I can't recommend them enough. Truly a 10/10 experience

    Amazing DJ Services!

    74Events, led by the stellar Gary, were incredible to work with for our wedding! Gary heard what we wanted and set us up with the perfect DJ for us, Priscila. Once we met her, it was clear that we were a perfect match. She just got us and saw our vision for our wedding music and boy, did she deliver. Our guests could not stop talking about the music choices and how Priscila could really read the room to know when to move onto the next song. Truly, no complaints or notes from us! We would hire Priscila and Gary again any day and will always recommend them to our friends getting married in the future!

    Best wedding ever!

    We cannot thank 74 Events enough for putting on the best possible party for our wedding reception! Gary Hoffmann was extremely prompt, and the DJ he paired us with was fantastic. Through the planning process, they were receptive to what we wanted our big day to look like, and they followed our song requests to a tee. I got multiple comments from my guests that the DJ we hired did a phenomenal job, and I could not agree more. They followed the artists that we wanted to hear, and they hard avoided the songs we did not want to be played! The party they put on after the ceremony was so enjoyable and it was all thanks to them.

    Fantastic Wedding DJ

    74 Events, and specifically DJ Preston Dugger (@djduggz), made our October wedding reception a wonderful experience. Leading up to the event, Gary from 74 Events guided us every step of the way using a well-thought-out questionnaire that gave us a detailed feel for how the reception would work. We then had a call with both Gary and Preston to walk through each step of the night. From that call their depth of experience was evident and we knew we were in good hands. Fast forward to the wedding, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. Once the reception began, Preston took us and our guests through a well-orchestrated evening of great music, no technical issues, clear / concise announcements and an overall wonderful vibe, seamlessly transitioning from background accompaniment for dinner to more energetic music drawing everyone to the dance floor. He was sure to play our favorite pre-selected songs and tie everything together. Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about our DJ. 74 Events and Preston truly elevated our wedding!

    The best!!!

    We had a great experience working with 74 Events for our wedding reception back in December 2023. Gary's organization, communication and professionalism was invaluable during an otherwise stressful planning process. Our DJ Dan was also fantastic - he helped us think through the vibes we wanted and not only played everything on our list but also built an awesome atmosphere with a set list based on our preferences. The format of our wedding was also untraditional and both Gary and Dan worked closely with us to make sure that it was the perfect night and gave us extremely helpful insight, ideas and advice. The highest recommendation of 74 Events for your wedding or any other event!

    Couldn't be happier with our experience!

    We cannot recommend 74 Events strongly enough! Gary is incredibly organized and professional and made sure everything ran smoothly from our first meeting through to the wedding and any follow-up afterward. The DJ he connected us with, Roland, was EXCELLENT. Roland met with us before the wedding, to get to know us and our music tastes, and he did an INCREDIBLE job at the wedding. The music was a great reflection of what we said we liked and songs we added to our playlist (but he went beyond our playlist, which we appreciated), AND he executed it all so well—songs faded into one another so there were no awkward quiet moments; he started things off with music our parents would want to dance to; and the vibe just got better from there :) We've gotten SO many compliments from people at our wedding on how great the DJ was!!

    I have already recommended 74 Events to another friend getting married this year and would recommend them again and again.
